my local maternity unit
Just found out the hospital where I had Bryn is the worst performing maternity unit in the whole of Devon and Cornwall - it only got 1 star - the lowest rating - thank goodness I've already had Bryn otherwise I might have felt a bit more nervous about going into hospital!

Luckily for me the hosp i went to was brill and the care was great.
Unfortunately the aftercare was terrible. My hubby had to phone the mw on the 6th day of being home because noone had come to see me since day 1. All in all i saw the mw 3 times and one of those visits was to be discharged. What happened to the 10 days visits?
Nothing like a lack of funding on the nhs. My hubby was so angry. Luckily for me i had my family around but that is not always the case for some people.
suzlong - I only had 3 visits from my mw too - they were every day up until I was discharged with my 1st and about every other day with my 2nd - i did expect to see her more but just thought there were less visits because it was my third.
ps - i didn't think my hospital was too bad but then I went home the same day
Its def not because its your 3rd-i think they call it lack of funding (or in our terms crap NHS!)
What made it even worse for me was that i had to phone the hv up for an appointment because she hadnt phoned me either!
Like i said before-its a good job i had supportive people round me.
Heaven forbid if i had suffered from pnd or had an emergency.
What the heck do we pay our taxes for? Dont get me started!!! lol
